How to Convert MMD (PMX) Models to VRM for Vtubing

[@h.m.chuang0224]

19:20 You don't need to do that manually btw. You can just select all the objects and drag them to the > Root Bones part, and Unity will automatically fill out the array.

[@meaghen4013]

thank you so much! this process has been so frustrating but your calming voice has been extra helpful. Just letting you know, your audio is very quiet. I had to have my desktop and youtube audio at full volume to hear you

[@solarfaker]

Her audio is fine, just use captions lol

[@lordgriefington]

Thank you so much. It is a great tutorial. Better than the other I saw before. I already converted a model yesterday. Added physics for hairs and clothes including collisions today. It was kinda self explaining at the end. I saw on magic mirror we can make custom animations as well.

[@ovishee]

you deserve so much follower your tutorial is just perfect! I suck at programming but here, I understood everything thanks to you I LOVE U SM 💟

[@faith1318]

Excellent video, Jay! Very informative!

[@ArcticRae]

This helped out a lot, as I want to use my model for vtubing.

13:30 - I can't find an Export to VRM option on the top. In fact, instead of UniVRM at the top, I see an option called UniGLTF.

[@GigiMCaDam_AwA]

14:06 it doesnt say normalized, instead it says create prefab and that's where it's not working for me :( the converted vrm looks corrupted then

[@helmet__bro3891]

Thank you for this wholesome and problem solving video.

[@MMDKuraiRam]

Thank you so much! This really helped me a lot, it worked well and very helpful tutorial. You are amazing!!💗

[@jlobh]

Thanks! Got it to work and am having so much fun!

[@rezuriplays]

congrats on univesity i wish you luck

[@sonofbigdog]

when downloading the VRM on unity. the "VRM" tab at the top wont appear..... anyway to fix this?

[@austinyarwood3897]

When I go to export, instead of it having VRM as an option it has VRM0. I click it, but it doesn't work for some reason.

[@Rafslittlemermaid]

It worked once but now when i try to put the univrm in unity its not letting me?

[@hexcode5703]

Really helpful video! Awesome work. ^^

[@ryukiii4228]

Does this tutorial still work with 2022? I tried following the steps exactly but I keep getting errors because unity hub doesn't want me to start a project with the version in this tutorial.

[@michaeldoang7725]

16:08 my PMX model doesn't have the "U_Char_2" on every ".asset" files, as I clicked them they are just the same expression (mouth opened). any idea? 👀

[@adrian.cordero]

did you solve it?

[@Sennxes]

having this problem as well, has anyone found a fix for this?

[@YouTubeArtisticallyChallenged]

VRM Button does NOT show up for me at all help plz!!

[@dapperdarling]

When I import my PMX, I go through most steps just fine. However, my character has black leggings on and it shows up white. I change the shaders, and I make sure the texture is applied to the sphere, but she still has white leggings. Do you have any recommendation to fix? Thank you very much for your time and this video. EDIT: I figured it out! The layers on my model (in PMX Editor/MMD) were named some of the same things, so I think Unity had issues assigning the texture properly. I made sure all layers in PMX Editor had proper names (in EN and JP), and it worked just fine. :)

[@Sukunacr]

thank you so much for your help! 💖

[@limeclyne8691]

Question : did you use V Magic Mirror? Did you bought it? I use the free one and it didnt get my face tracking at all but hand track is ok (blurred but its fine) Should I buy before I could use the face track?

[@alceasgamingbouquet]

16:30 Wait. The blwendshapes and facial expressions from the pmx do not carry over ?? Uhh

[@okuu_utsuho]

Thanks! Time to prank my friends be becoming Monika with a male voice lmao

[@Lomitops]

I downloaded the exact same thing you say but i can't open the project it say it's invalid, what's happening

[@Kloyster2010]

when I click the unity link in the description it says page not found, what do I do?

[@Rambol_XP]

do you by chance have discord? I'm having some troubles with Unity like the bendshapes merge into a VRM package & I'm unable to add/remove any costume once like for ARkit tracking Had to go to a newer unity coz old 1 keeps saying "error, project invalid" NVM figured it out, so you right click on it, select propoties > vrm > "extract meta & add expressions" & then u can basically add/remove them, when ur done just repeat the process but instead of extract it will say "clear extraction" just wanted to leave this here for anyone who has similar issue hope this helps

[@Andarilho404]

thanks for the tutorial poggers

[@icarusskyhawk]

When i have my model imported it has the mesh missing parts! like holes over the mesh and I'm not sure why or how to fix it!

[@Ikarusu]

but where im supposed to use the vtuber file i made on??

[@SheyTheGay]

I followed this tutorial to a T, but the textures are no where to be found. Just a bunch of grey spheres. Help???

[@SheyTheGay]

I cannot edit any of the spheres to add texture, either. The inspector window is entirely greyed out, so I can't change the material if i want to. Help???

[@psymmoMMD]

9:32 Spine is always throwing errors! ⇒ "Spine Transform '18.Joint_Torso' has bone length of Zero." Besides, "Avater Confiuration No. 11" is not "Joint Torso" for me... An error will occur no matter which file is assigned!!! How can I get rid of this error?

[@psymmoMMD]

@Howhow not yet... I checked all scripts、 files, asset, model data etc.... hmmm maybe I should change the software version?‪( ;ᯅ; )‬

[@cittycup1094]

I got a question. Everytime I try to normalize the model, the textures get mixed up. But before I normalize the model. It looks just find. Does anyone know whats happening?

[@Sh1raori]

I have a problem 😭 when im importing uniVRM package it's not showing on top of the screen.

[@MarianaPawpatrol16018]

[@reidmoore8754]

I keep getting an error on Unity saying that the 3d templet doesn't work. Any reason that might be the case?

[@Lomitops]

i have the same issue

[@lemonadesky]

you havent installed the unity editor! the same thing happened to me, and you can go into the installs tab in unity hub and in the top right corner install editor. i just installed the recommended version and it worked fine for me.

[@EnbyAxolotlOfficial]

Hey none of this is working for me- I downloaded the exact same version of unity and univrm but I can't import my pmx model, none of that stuff is popping up for me- help would be much appreciated!

[@Pesky_Coyote]

Hi! Firstly, AMAZING video such a huge help thank you! Second, Is there a way to fix the arms? For whatever reason, the arms are back behind the model even though I didn't mess with it at all.

[@muwuny]

I get the error "required human bone 'hips' not found" when trying to apply a humanoid rig and the model shows no bones or joints when trying to configure.

[@justval9055]

I have a lot of questions on Vtubing with an Mmd model, what do i do if i wanna use an mmd model for vtubing? Since theres rules where we cant use it for commercial uses But what are the requirements to use it? What if people donate me ?

[@DestatiDiaboli]

when I download MMDMechanim it doesnt show the same way hers does. comes up as AI file. How do I fix?

[@Lori_P89]

Love the new background! Did you make it yourself or did you find it somewhere? :O

[@jayyruuu1199]

If you're talking about the background of the webcam then it's actually from VRChat! ^^

[@Sinicety]

if my pmx file already has physics in mmd can i skip the process of adding them like you did and export as vrm?

[@teapotfrog179]

What if is my own model that i need to convert to vrm, and i dont have the thing where i click “process”? Edit: nvm

[@megamystic7266]

May i ask how you fixed this?

[@xCuqcake]

hey i always have an NullErrorExpection.. when i export it with no freeze or t-pose i atleast can export it but there isn't any programm that opens it.. there is a problem with the bones.. idk what to do Q.Q

[@SoyNearsito]

on 15:15 my Model while I put in on the Hierarchy was black like if a shadow was on it, any ideas?

[@MrRobotVPN]

Drag it inito Direcitonal Light and also make sure its not missing a unity.asset like a Shadow asset for example or DynamicBones.

[@rosethornevo7686]

my model's facials don't work when i use them in vmagicmirror

[@regretsin612]

huh for some reason my arms are swapped after exporting I dont understand

Where is 'Done'? Is the camera in the way of it?

[@OhGoshBecca]

Hello! Would there be any reason why the "MMDMecanim" won't apply to the assets? Like it won't go into the program at all? Thank you!

[@tinhoibixam909]

I know this video is old but i wanna ask that why when i open my mmd model it's doesn't have texture it's only white =)

[@weiss8436]

hi! i know this tutorial is a little old now, but i wonder if you can answer to how to rig eye movements into the mode? i dont seem to have any ways to add it into the model by using the shape keys, so i wonder if theres a way to actually add them to an improted pmx model?

[@bubblezart]

hello! thank you for the tutorial! I was wondering, how do i fix the inside of my models mouth being white? :,)

[@danokysenpai8038]

i followed your steps but unity is asking for a license? how do I fix this?

[@michaeldoang7725]

you should login with your Unity account but first download the Unity Hub from its site, after installation open it and look for the "Activate License" button

[@HeeyeonX2]

Just to let you know. Commercial use and usage of YYB/TDA model data outside of MMD is forbidden.

[@alicemation]

what

[@HeeyeonX2]

@@alicemation ?

[@mdrmmotionsofficial]

@@alicemation it break rules terms of use of TDA and YYP so people didn't respect the rules

[@haz0816]

PLEASE do not use parts that don't allow commercial use for VTubing (especially TDA parts + TDA doesn't allow non-OC models using their parts to be used for VTubing) since donations count as monetary gain off these parts. Some creators may let you pay an extra fee for a license that allows you to get donations from their parts but others may not allow you to do that.

[@xxyychannel]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/opXSfouiZtpsr9E You only need to set the root bone of each hair physics bone chain, not the whole bone chain. This could save calculating resources for your computer when running your VRM.

[@kokurori]

k 100% your MMD model is broke YYB and Tda rules. both said in the readme: "do not using YYB/Tda parts on non-Tda/YYB model"

[@CenturianTale_Halo]

pretty sure that's for distribution, if it's for personal use and not shared, iirc it's fine

[@littlenekosparkles181]

hai idk who u r but u seem v nice and i wanted to let you know it's really really really hard to hear you- you might wanna fix your mic or speak louder since i can't hear

[@NyxQuentiam]

commercial use and usage of YYB/TDA model data outside of MMD is forbidden. so if you guys are caught using theses models for vtubing you are breaking rules of the original modelers. and they will take your channel down.

[@FliqpyYesKuromiandRominaNo]

OMGG, A FURRY :O

[@chocofunduk9136]

You know that you're legally not allowed to use TDA, Sour or YYB assets for commercial use right? They're only for MMD.
